Sommario/riassunto |
|
Economists who write about the benefits of globalization often rely solely on statistics, while journalists often use anecdotes and little economic analysis to paint a dim picture of globalization. Swedish journalist Tomas Larsson, whose travels have taken him from Thai brothels to Brazilian shantytowns, avoids those pitfalls in his new book. |

Private Interest Governments were identified in the 1980s as a special form of public regulation in selected economic sectors, rivalling conventional market, state, or community-based forms of public order. This book examines how these institutional arrangements have changed since their identification. It takes into account external changes such as Europeanization, globalization, liberalization, and sector-specific developments, which have had an impact on even long-established public policies.Breakdown and Change of Private Interest Governments presents new empirical insights in changes which |
